Mitt for thumb, index finger, and middle finger

Abstract

A pair of gloves for keeping fingers clean during the eating of juicy foods includes a left-hand glove having a first pocket for receiving a left thumb, a second pocket for receiving a left index finger, and a third pocket for receiving a left middle finger and a right-hand glove having a first pocket for receiving a right thumb, a second pocket for receiving a right index finger, and a third pocket for receiving a right middle finger. The ring and little fingers of a user's hands are not protected and are held in spaced apart relation to the food during consumption. The gloves are made from whole gloves formed of a thin vinyl by cutting off the pockets for receiving the ring and little fingers of each hand.

1. A method of making a pair of gloves that protects the fingers from getting juices on them while holding juicy foods, comprising the steps of:
 providing a pair of gloves formed of a thin vinyl; 
 said pair of gloves including a left-hand glove having five pockets and a wrist-receiving end; 
 a first pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a left thumb; 
 a second pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a left index finger, 
 a third pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a left middle finger; 
 a fourth pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a left ring finger, 
 a fifth pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a left little finger; 
 said pair of gloves including a right-hand glove having five pockets and a wrist-receiving end; 
 a first pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a right thumb; 
 a second pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a right index finger, 
 a third pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a right middle finger; 
 a fourth pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a right ring finger, and 
 a fifth pocket of said five pockets adapted to receive a right little finger; 
 providing a cutting instrument capable of cutting thin vinyl; 
 forming a cut in said left-hand glove from a first point to a second point; 
 said first point being where said pocket adapted to receive said left middle finger meets said pocket adapted to receive said left ring finger; 
 said cut in said left-hand glove including a first straight part that extends from said first point to a second point near the wrist-receiving end of the left glove in substantially parallel relation to a longitudinal axis of the left-hand glove; 
 said cut in said left-hand glove further including a second straight part normal to the first straight part that extends from the second point in an inboard direction to an inboard point on the inboard side of the left glove that is between the thumb-receiving first pocket and the wrist-receiving end of the left glove; 
 forming a cut in said right-hand glove from a first point to a second point; 
 said first point being where said pocket adapted to receive said right middle finger meets said pocket adapted to receive said right ring finger; and 
 said cut in said right-hand glove including a first straight part that extends from said first point to a second point near the wrist-receiving end of the right-hand glove in substantially parallel relation to a longitudinal axis of the right-hand glove; 
 said cut in right-hand glove further including a second straight part normal to the first straight part that extends from the second point in an inboard direction to an inboard point on the inboard side of the right-hand glove that is between the thumb-receiving first pocket and the wrist-receiving end of the right-hand glove.
